> Matthew 3:16 Spirit of God & Jesus examined.

[Assad]

If Jesus is God then he doesn't need to be baptized , Because God is sinless obviously. Matthew 3:16 tells us that Jesus was baptized that means he wasnt sinless and consequently not God.

This also tells us that he saw Spirit of God descending on him , that means that Jesus was a man simply otherwise he would have seen his own spirit descending on him if he was God.


This verse also gives an impression that Jesus saw the Spirit of God first time ---"....and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him" , while If in trinity Holy Spirit is a part of Jesus , then seeing Holy Spirit wouldnt had been a much big for thing Jesus .

This following verse tells us that the voice from heaven refers to Jesus as His Son ... Now , Is this is Holy Spirit referring to Jesus as His Son or is it the Father ? Obviously Father will refer to Jesus as His Son and not Holy Spirit... but this verse doesnt tell us that the Father came like a dove when the heaven split open! There is no mention of Father here but just the Holy Spirit...If we assume that Father was speaking all this then why didnt Father appear in the opened Heaven and why the Holy Spirit ? Why is this verse silent about Father here? Definitely the author of this verse forgot to properly plan his passage and jumped to the conclusion to write "son of god" and didnt see the context of the passage . This points out to the inconsistency in these verses.



And Allah knows best!
